    Oh FUCK YEAH!!!

    I just came here to start this thread, but you beat me to it. I love TDS even more than KoH.

    This is where we camped last year and plan on doing the same this year. It's a skip and a hop from the notches. I'll be heading out on Thursday afternoon to get a good spot for the toy hauler.

    Looks good. I was thinking more towards the arco. I know it gets crowed over there though.

    It's only about a 5 minute drive to the arco off S. Marina. and an easy trek over to the obstacle course.

    Is there any interest in doing a run? Anyone have any set up that are toyota based?

    I believe we are camping in truck haven.

    Yes. I will be going with several friends but would love to try and hook up with TW members as well. Let's coordinate a camping spot to make it a party.

    Last year I camped right near the TDS headquarters on the beach at salton sea. If anyone has a better suggestion I'm all ears.

    We were there last year too and it smelled! We will be over by truck haven this year. I believe I will be going up Thursday with the boys from Icon to secure a camping spot. If anyone wants to camp with us they are welcome too.

    Sounds good. If you wouldn't mind dropping a pin on this thread where you set up camp that would be awesome. We'll look you up when we get there on Friday.

    Depends on what kind of camping you want.

    Where @JDEMELLO will be at, it's by the obstacle course, a bit closer to some good wheeling in truckhaven, and a calmer vibe as far as camp grounds go.

    Where I'll be at, it's more of a party atmosphere all day/night since you're closer to the notches. And still close to some good wheeling, just a little further to the obstacle course. It's not uncommon to make friends with your neighbors since you will be closer to them. Far more shenanigans and all around fuckery. But that's what I look forward to at TDS.

    For anyone who has never been, this is some drone footage that a buddy of mine in our camp took last year at the notches on Friday night.



    And then there was this jackass in front of us 2 years ago. His night also got worse immediately afterwards, but it was wildly entertaining.



    And just a bunch of awesome randomness.

    I've been out at this event for the longest. I usually camp out over salton sea entrance. Im up for a run if something gets set up.
